Good job, Charmion! My month was not so fruitful; after the first few pounds off I stayed at that level, though in the last four weeks managed a transformation in what I'm eating. Thanks for naming the author (Taubes) that reminded me of my previous food research (during 2016-2018 when I was being treated for PMR). I'm still wearing the exact same clothes as before, but that's ok. I've intended to stay in the size 10 and 12 zone, and the 12 are comfortable, not snug now. Medium t-shirts, etc.

This heat advisory is continuing - I don't remember them making such a fuss about hot weather before, I'm not sure if the humidity is making it seem more intense so they're issuing warnings, but this week will be hotter, with a chance of rain by Friday and the weekend. Too bad no rain on the 4th, it might reduce the number of fireworks.

My daughter brought me a bowl of peaches from the tree on their property and tells me "some of them should be eaten today." Mmmmm! I'll blanch and cut up and eat some and freeze the rest. I'll pick them up this afternoon after my dentist appointment.
